Yes, that would work too. Another option is to just move the buffers to
struct ssd130x_device as it was before commit 45b58669e532 ("drm/ssd130x:
Allocate buffer in the plane's .atomic_check() callback") but just make
them fixed arrays with the size of the biggest format.
That will be some memory wasted but will prevent the problem of trying to
allocate buffers after drm_atomic_helper_swap_state() has been called.
